Twitter’s best reactions to iPhone 7 and AirPods

It can’t be an Apple event if it is not followed by a torrent of amusing tweets, taking jibes at the new iPhone, its accessories and the over-the-top marketing spiel.

This year, in particular, Apple Vice-President Phil Schiller has given extra fodder to the twitterati by describing the removal of the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 as an act of “courage”. Yes, courage!

Aside from that, critics are having a fun day with Apple’s tiny AirPods, which look a bit like toothbrush tips. And are expected to go missing within a few hours of purchase.

Courage is buying the $159 Apple Air Pods and then going home to tell your spouse what you bought and for how much. #AppleEvent
